It’s no secret that older games are increasingly harder to get into, especially as support for them on modern systems continues to dwindle down and the more steps you have to take to get them to work properly continues to rise. Then, once you get the game running, you are taken aback by the graphics after being used to playing the latest AAA games and immediately go hunting for mods to enhance the graphics and experience to help you enjoy your time. Or maybe you literally have no idea how to play the game, but enjoy it enough to learn more about getting better. Well, here is some basic info to hopefully make all of that easier when it comes to Jedi Academy.
This game is turning 20 years old this year, and it is still one of the greatest Star Wars games of all time with an active modding and player community. I took some time making a video and written guide on all of the basics of getting started with Star Wars Jedi Knight Jedi Academy in 2023. Keep in mind this is geared towards new or returning players, so it is meant to be as simple as possible. Watch the video below or read the written guide at the bottom below that.

If you ever have questions or need help, post on our Tech Support forum, or join the Jedi Knight Discord and people should be able to help you out. Have fun out there!

New JK-inspired themes
It's already July! The 20th anniversary of Jedi Academy is upon us, and what better way to celebrate than with a new theme! Actually, there are 3 new themes to choose from: Academy, Academy (Stone), and Outcast. These are inspired by the cover arts of both games while keeping the function of the site the same. You can pick which one you like best or go back to the old theme, the theme picker is in the very bottom of the page. The Academy one has two separate options: default and stone. I took the stone texture from the original cover art and made it the background, but I honestly wasn't a fan of it but I figured there are people that may like it so I made it an option. I think the Outcast one may be my favorite.

 
 

Anniversay Mod Contest
Keeping the anniversary train going, I figured an anniversary mod contest was in order! Now, this contest's theme is quite broad to many here but hopefully that doesn't stop people from making some cool stuff. The theme is the Jedi Knight series. It doesn't have to be strictly Jedi Academy focused, but any game from the series (Dark Forces, DFII, Mysteries of the Sith, Jedi Outcast, or Academy). This can be related to the story, characters, weapons, vehicles, planets, etc. As long as it adheres to our file submission rules and relates to the JK series, you can submit.
Rules:
All submissions must be Jedi Knight series themed (Dark Forces, Dark Forces II, Mysteries of the Sith, Jedi Outcast, Jedi Academy) You can only enter your own creations. You may enter more than one mod. Already existing files cannot be submitted. The goal is to encourage new creations! This includes updates or fixes for existing mods. Any mod content is welcome, including skins, models, maps, weapons, menu mods, etc. Just make sure it abides by the rules. Mods can be for Jedi Academy and/or Jedi Outcast. We will assume mods are for JKA unless specified otherwise. The deadline for submitting content is September 9, 2023, after which a poll will be opened. The poll will be closed by the end of day September 16, 2023. How do I submit my mod?
Our goal is to make it as simple as possible for everyone involved. The way you submit your file for this contest is to upload them as normal files in our file section, but using the category called Contest Entries. After the contest is over, we will move the mods to their respective categories.

Click the button below, and submit your mod as you normally would. The category should be set to Contest Entries already. If you don't enter it there, your file won't be entered until you do. If you realize that you didn't do that, PM a staff member and we can change it for you. Good luck and happy festive season!

EDIT: VOTE FOR THE SUBMISSIONS HERE
 
 
Anniversary Server Event
Some people in the community are putting together a day-long event on a Jedi Academy server to get people on a server to play and hang  out and celebrate the game the best way: by playing it. Multiple games and events may take place throughout the day depending on turnout. It will be open door policy, so come and go as you please. Thanks to Makha and friends for getting it organized and planned!

20th Anniversary page
We are tracking all of the content and events going on for the 20th anniversary over at jka.gg/20. Many of them are still developing, so keep in mind the page will change as new things happen. You'll notice some thing we've already shared, and some we haven't yet, like the JKHub server.
20th Anniversary of Jedi Academy
That's all for now. I'm still working on getting another developer interview done, but I can't confirm that yet until it happens. If anyone has any ideas for more we can do for the anniversary, or has already done something we can put on the page, or wants to help with the server with events or admin, please let me know!

A couple months ago, Imgur, the most popular anonymous image upload service, announced that all anonymously posted images would be deleted, and all uploads going forward would require an account. As many of you know, thousands of images posted on these forums were hosted on Imgur anonymously. It has been the standard for posting images for years. Hearing that news had us concerned, not that losing all of those images in the forum was a dire situation, but that it would leave many of the threads that show progress of mods from the last decade completely useless.
All Imgur images previously posted are now locally hosted
Thanks to @AshuraDX going above and beyond, he did his database voodoo and retrieved every single Imgur link on the forum, including tutorials and news articles, and re-hosted them on our server, keeping the original file names in tact. For example if you posted a link like this:
https://i.imgur.com/n9YsBml.jpg It is now this:
https://jkhub.org/images/n9YsBml.jpg We also came up with a quick solution for albums. A simple page showing the images, while keeping the individual links in tact.
https://jkhub.org/albums/VRFiDx2 Keep in mind, they didn't give much of an advanced warning before they began deleting anonymous images, so there may be a small number out there that weren't saved.
Also, this is mostly a one time thing that we will do. We may look again in the future, but going forward, we recommend not using Imgur at all to host your images here, or really anywhere even if you have an account. They have shown they are not profitable enough to be sustainable, so it is most likely a matter of time before they go full paid subscription to host images, like ImageShack or Photobucket did.
So how do I post images then?
Local image hosting is now enabled for all users. You should now see an option to drag and drop or choose an image to upload at the bottom of your text box as shown below. We have a generous max upload size in place for now, but ask to not abuse that. Most images shared are an average of 1MB. If yours is a lot bigger than that, run it through ImageOptim or something if you want.

 
Why didn't you allow image uploads in the forum before?
In short, server storage is expensive. We tried to keep the size of JKHub as small as possible. We host all mod files in a separate CDN which keeps costs lower, and we could in theory do the same for locally hosted images, but our CDN service is not supported natively by the forum software. When forum activity was booming, it made the most sense. Now that activity is much lower these days, having it enabled should be okay.
What about the Files section images?
We already host all images in the Files section, and we have gone out of our way to save and manually upload any images submitted via Imgur or other hosts, to avoid this very problem from ever happening. Though, it was always more likely for the author to delete the images before an entire service was shut down, after seeing what happened to ImageShack and Photobucket, we didn't want to risk a key part of hosting mods to ever get lost, and now we were proven to be right about that. So those have always been hosted locally on our server since day one.
Bot attacks
In other news, we got hit with a significant bot attack a couple weeks ago. If you had email notifications for forums on, your inbox probably shed a tear. We have upped registration security a bit, and have set all new account posts to be manually approved by staff. 100% of the bot posts were new accounts that posted instantly. We can at the very least save you guys from seeing them when they happen now.
We appreciate you
That's all for now, though we do have some things planned for later this year and beyond that you'll hear about when it is time. Thanks for sticking with us, and remember we provide all of this for free and ad-free for you. Money is tight for a lot of people right now, including us, but if you do have the ability to donate even a small amount to help keep us around, it is greatly appreciated.

UPDATE 2024-Mar-29
Discord has started blocking externally linked images now too. Please avoid using Discord image links. Just upload directly like explained above.

A couple months ago, Imgur, the most popular anonymous image upload service, announced that all anonymously posted images would be deleted, and all uploads going forward would require an account. As many of you know, thousands of images posted on these forums were hosted on Imgur anonymously. It has been the standard for posting images for years. Hearing that news had us concerned, not that losing all of those images in the forum was a dire situation, but that it would leave many of the threads that show progress of mods from the last decade completely useless.
All Imgur images previously posted are now locally hosted
Thanks to @AshuraDX going above and beyond, he did his database voodoo and retrieved every single Imgur link on the forum, including tutorials and news articles, and re-hosted them on our server, keeping the original file names in tact. For example if you posted a link like this:
https://i.imgur.com/n9YsBml.jpg It is now this:
https://jkhub.org/images/n9YsBml.jpg We also came up with a quick solution for albums. A simple page showing the images, while keeping the individual links in tact.
https://jkhub.org/albums/VRFiDx2 Keep in mind, they didn't give much of an advanced warning before they began deleting anonymous images, so there may be a small number out there that weren't saved.
Also, this is mostly a one time thing that we will do. We may look again in the future, but going forward, we recommend not using Imgur at all to host your images here, or really anywhere even if you have an account. They have shown they are not profitable enough to be sustainable, so it is most likely a matter of time before they go full paid subscription to host images, like ImageShack or Photobucket did.
So how do I post images then?
Local image hosting is now enabled for all users. You should now see an option to drag and drop or choose an image to upload at the bottom of your text box as shown below. We have a generous max upload size in place for now, but ask to not abuse that. Most images shared are an average of 1MB. If yours is a lot bigger than that, run it through ImageOptim or something if you want.

 
Why didn't you allow image uploads in the forum before?
In short, server storage is expensive. We tried to keep the size of JKHub as small as possible. We host all mod files in a separate CDN which keeps costs lower, and we could in theory do the same for locally hosted images, but our CDN service is not supported natively by the forum software. When forum activity was booming, it made the most sense. Now that activity is much lower these days, having it enabled should be okay.
What about the Files section images?
We already host all images in the Files section, and we have gone out of our way to save and manually upload any images submitted via Imgur or other hosts, to avoid this very problem from ever happening. Though, it was always more likely for the author to delete the images before an entire service was shut down, after seeing what happened to ImageShack and Photobucket, we didn't want to risk a key part of hosting mods to ever get lost, and now we were proven to be right about that. So those have always been hosted locally on our server since day one.
Bot attacks
In other news, we got hit with a significant bot attack a couple weeks ago. If you had email notifications for forums on, your inbox probably shed a tear. We have upped registration security a bit, and have set all new account posts to be manually approved by staff. 100% of the bot posts were new accounts that posted instantly. We can at the very least save you guys from seeing them when they happen now.

Over the last year, I've been working on building a podcast talking about gaming, movies, tv, etc. It has been a slow process getting a backlog started, while also planning ahead for super cool stuff. Though the podcast and YouTube channel isn't Jedi Academy-specific, since this game is such a big part of my life I can't help but talk about it when I can, especially during it's 20th anniversary year.
This episode I had the privilege of having @Link join me as a guest, and we basically just talk about Jedi Academy, our first memories, jk3files, JKHub, running clans, and how it effected their lives in general. It was a lot of fun, and we'd really appreciate you talking a look.
If you like what you see/hear then consider subscribing to us on YouTube, or on Spotify, or anywhere else that has podcasts, as we do have more Jedi Academy related things planned as this 20th anniversary continues on! Stay tuned!
If you aren't a fan of podcasts or just don't have time, you can also check out the short clip on Reddit to give you a little taste.

Two factor authentication on JKHub 🔒
Just a quick little update here for you guys. Due to a lot of security breaches and hacks that have been going on around the internet over the last year or so, and an uptick in spam posts recently, we've enabled two-factor authentication as an option for all accounts, and a requirement for all staff accounts. This won't necessarily fix the spam problem, but hopefully it allows users a little more security if they desire it.
If you aren't familiar with two factor authentication (also known as 2FA), or multi-factor authentication, it basically enables you to use a second method for confirming that it is you that signs in, by using another device or account that you have approved to use as an authentication method. Typically this is through an SMS or an authenticator app. The method we have enabled is the latter, authentication apps such as Google Authenticator (Android | iOS)and Authy (Android | iOS). Chances are you're using one of those apps already, so this should be easy for you. If you haven't and want to learn, check out this link for a quick explainer on that.
Visit the link below to enable 2FA on your JKHub account.

Jedi Outcast turns 21! 🎂
In other news, this month marked the 21st birthday of Jedi Outcast, which isn't as exciting as the 20th, but in the States JK2 is old enough to legally drink, so raise a pint! 🍻 If you weren't around for the 20th anniversary last March, or you haven't gotten around to watching it yet or just live under a rock, last year I had the privilege of talking with a handful of the developers that were at Raven Software at the time and helped make Jedi Outcast.
The full interview was about 2 hours long, but if you want just a little taste of it, I do have a short little clip on my main YouTube channel below that's about 15 minutes if you want to just hear a bit to decide if you want to hear the full thing. It was really cool getting to hear them just reminisce about that time and see their passion for making that game. I plan on doing it again later this year for Jedi Academy too, fingers crossed, so subscribe to the channel or keep an eye here around August/September as we get closer to the actual 20th anniversary for Jedi Academy.

Ideas for Jedi Academy Anniversary💡
Speaking of Jedi Academy, if you guys have any ideas for ways to celebrate the 20th anniversary that are feasible to do, let me know. Is there a specific kind of contest you want to see? Is there any interest in some kind of server meet up or event someone has in mind to help with? There's only so much I can do on my own, so any help or ideas would be welcome. Leave in the comments below or contact me directly.

It's been 20 years since Jedi Outcast launched in 2002, if you can believe that. This masterpiece of a game truly defined what it means to be Jedi in a video game, even to this day, with its intricate lightsaber combat and Force powers. Continuing the Dark Forces story, Outcast follows the mercenary turned Jedi, Kyle Katarn, after he shuts himself off from the Force and returns to being an agent of the New Republic.
With such a milestone anniversary, I really wanted to do something special here, and unfortunately I did not get this published in time for the actual day, yesterday. I'm hoping I will be forgiven for being late with how great this project turned out.
I got a chance to sit down with 5 of the developers of Jedi Outcast over a Zoom call and not only did they take time to talk with me about this wonderful game, but they talked to me for nearly 3 hours. I cut it down to just 2 hours. It's clear from the very beginning that they were truly passionate about this game and consider it their proudest achievement. Take a look at the video below and listen as they reminisce and chat about development and that era of their careers!

Speaking of Jedi Academy, if you guys have any ideas for ways to celebrate the 20th anniversary that are feasible to do, let me know. Is there a specific kind of contest you want to see? Is there any interest in some kind of server meet up or event someone has in mind to help with? There's only so much I can do on my own, so any help or ideas would be welcome. Leave in the comments below or contact me directly.

Two factor authentication on JKHub 🔒
Just a quick little update here for you guys. Due to a lot of security breaches and hacks that have been going on around the internet over the last year or so, and an uptick in spam posts recently, we've enabled two-factor authentication as an option for all accounts, and a requirement for all staff accounts. This won't necessarily fix the spam problem, but hopefully it allows users a little more security if they desire it.
If you aren't familiar with two factor authentication (also known as 2FA), or multi-factor authentication, it basically enables you to use a second method for confirming that it is you that signs in, by using another device or account that you have approved to use as an authentication method. Typically this is through an SMS or an authenticator app. The method we have enabled is the latter, authentication apps such as Google Authenticator (Android | iOS)and Authy (Android | iOS). Chances are you're using one of those apps already, so this should be easy for you. If you haven't and want to learn, check out this link for a quick explainer on that.

Jedi Outcast turns 21! 🎂
In other news, this month marked the 21st birthday of Jedi Outcast, which isn't as exciting as the 20th, but in the States JK2 is old enough to legally drink, so raise a pint! 🍻 If you weren't around for the 20th anniversary last March, or you haven't gotten around to watching it yet or just live under a rock, last year I had the privilege of talking with a handful of the developers that were at Raven Software at the time and helped make Jedi Outcast.
The full interview was about 2 hours long, but if you want just a little taste of it, I do have a short little clip on my main YouTube channel below that's about 15 minutes if you want to just hear a bit to decide if you want to hear the full thing. It was really cool getting to hear them just reminisce about that time and see their passion for making that game. I plan on doing it again later this year for Jedi Academy too, fingers crossed, so subscribe to the channel or keep an eye here around August/September as we get closer to the actual 20th anniversary for Jedi Academy.
